[Bug 355086] [NEW] Wesnoth save game file format in jaunty is incompatible (1.4 -> 1.6) and saves just vanish

[Gerv]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: wesnoth

I have completed 23 out of 25 scenarios in the Wesnoth campaign "Heir to
the Throne". I then upgraded to the Jaunty beta, which replaces Wesnoth
1.4 with 1.6. Now, none of my saved games are available in the GUI, and
so I can't load them!

This campaign took rather a long time to play. If this were my only
computer, I would cry. Fortunately, I have another one and can use rsync
to move the saves across and finish the campaign. But other people will
not be so lucky.

There needs to be some sort of warning, or a conversion script, or the
ability to keep 1.4 installed as well... or something! Just "losing" all
the saved games (although the data remains in the Wesnoth directory, at
least at first) and not telling the user anything is unacceptable IMO.
